Check out this Genshin Impact beginner’s guide, as we have jotted down the 5 essential tips for new players.
Genshin Impact has swamped the Gacha genre by storm. However, the game - while simplistic in essence, can be a pain to get started off with as a new player. If you feel overwhelmed by the plethora of things happening around you right from the get-go, don’t worry!
We’ve gone ahead and compiled a concise guide on how you can get started with Genshin Impact!
Don’t Spread Yourself Too Thin
Who’s not a fan of variety and options? With Genshin Impact, you gain the ability to explore a ton of new, unique, fun characters each with their own charm and lore. However, there aren’t enough resources to level each and every character in the game.
While we aren’t great fans of meta picks, they do serve a good purpose in helping you identify what characters you should go for if you are in it for the long run. Therefore, try to focus on just a couple of characters and max them out, get them their weapons, artifacts, and talent levels.
After you’ve leveled up your team and they’ve started to carry you; you can then start focusing on other characters for the aforementioned variety new players seldom seek.
Never Skip Events
Unfortunately, like every other Gacha game, a lot of the content that is added to the game eventually goes away. In most cases, Genshin Impact has seasonal/weekly/ monthly events that span for a specific amount of time and then go away.
Unlike other games though, these events are unique and have their own lore and rewards that you won’t be able to get elsewhere. So, we recommend never skipping an event no matter how daunting it might feel at the beginning.
Plus, participating in events provides you with a great jump-start as most of them tend to dish out rewards that are much better than your main storyline missions. Moreover, they’re an excellent change of pace and help you quickly dive into the core mechanics and intricacies of the game.
Get Those Redeem Codes!
You can’t have a gacha game without some redeemable codes now, can you? With that said, if you ever are a few Primogems shy from getting your hands on a character or just simply want to maximize your playtime, redeeming codes can turn out to be extremely powerful and useful as they reward you with a considerable amount of currency.
Acquiring Genshin Impact codes is relatively straightforward, you’ll be able to find them on both official and unofficial forums scattered throughout the internet. Do be wary though, if you do land your hands on a working code, redeem it as soon as possible as they have an expiry date.
Food Isn’t Just For Healing
There are a bunch of healing items in Genshin Impact that you’ll be able to find as you go. But, as you get further into the game, you’ll find more multi-functional pieces of food that’ll give you a variety of buffs ranging from attack damage, boosting your crit rate, and more!
If you ever feel like you are struggling in a particular area, crafting some of the early game foods that you can find can help provide you with a considerable boost depending on the ones you can craft. For the early game, here are two items that we recommend:
- Delicious Barbatos Ratatouille: Decreases all-party members’ gliding and sprinting Stamina consumption by 25% for 900s.
- Cold Cut Platter: Increases all party members’ Physical DMG by 30% for 300s.
Most of these food buffs last from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. Therefore, once you have consumed them - try to get as much done as possible without wasting even a sliver of time.
Co-Op Isn’t All That Scary
Once you head onto Domains and Dungeons, that’s where the real challenge starts. Moving from a level 38 enemy to one that’s level 88 is a huge change of pace and can be hard to adjust to. Unfortunately, depending on your characters and weapon, they might not be able to fare well against some monsters.
This is where Co-Op comes in. If you are hard stuck at a particular level and just can’t seem to move forward, no worries. Someone will eventually carry you in Co-Op and that’s completely fine! You’ll often find high-level players participating in relatively easy dungeons for the sake of some activity or particular collectible.
In-essence, playing with someone can turn out to be a great helping aid especially if you’ve just entered a new world tier and are seemingly overwhelmed by the entourage of enemies that are out there to get you.
